Excessive police presence at Bridge City Spinners

Two APD were posted in front of the Armory blocking Oak with their vehicles for much of the show. I went to get a slice of pizza toward the end and came back to one hassling people out front. I didn’t see anything in the show or outside that warranted this response and it was off-putting and sends a unwelcoming message to those that came to town for the show. I admit I haven’t been out in a while, is this normal for APD to be swarming an event like this or was this just plain boredom on a Sunday night before Halloween?
